Ready to cross that threshold yet?
The you you've known so far is done.

You stand upon a precipice.
Old life behind. New life ahead.
Everything is waiting for you.
Sierra says:
"Working with Telfer has been more insightful and supportive than I could have imagined.
"He brings together an incredible breadth of knowledge and skills, combining his various disciplines to provide guidance that is unique to the individual, precise for the moment, and impossible to find elsewhere.
"Over years of working together, Telfer has provided me with key insights that led to breakthroughs in the physical, spiritual, and professional realms."
Jonah says:
"I was looking to feel more stable in my self, in my thoughts.
"I definitely feel a lot more calm. [Working with Telfer] is really solidifying. Just walking around, I am able to get into the center of my head and feel more confident dealing with stress and obstacles.
"I feel like I know more about what it means to be alive and practice intentional living and not find myself so confused by it all."
Sarneet says:
"I feel like a renewed person. I have my dignity back. This anchor is to stay. I am reconnected to my own power source. It’s working. I feel secure, less anxious AND have tools to unleash my potential without fear of it being stolen or abused.
"One year I’ve been with you and my life has changed. I can’t imagine how much momentum I’ll have after another year. I feel like I can dream and achieve and have goals again."
